Default Windows stopped moving up and down

Hi there

i have a 1999.5 A4 1.8T Quattro. My windows stopped moving up and down. The drivers main console and all doors own controller do not work.

The Cabin lights, and alarm still work fine.

I have checked the wires in between the door and the body for breaks, i did not see any. Is there any instructions on how to remove the door panel to access the driver window controller? I cannot seem to find any. Does anyone have any additional suggestions on what may be causing this issue?

​​​​​​​Thank you!

Removing the door panel isn't too tough but I don't remember where I found a how-to.

You kinda just have to look all around for bolts that hold it on until you find them all. They are on all around the outside + in the handle area? Once you get it off you can see if there's any electronics unplugged or other issues.

Here's an example vid that's probably pretty close (there's a million others, just google):

Hey thanks for the video, i was able to find one and i got my door off. I was unable to spot and breaks in the wires and the connections on the control panel are not corroded at all, look brand new.

funny thing is now that i took it off and put it back on my power locks dont work.. i definitly did not mess up re installing the cabling, maybe a wire is broken and not visible from the outside.

got any more tips on how to investigate this? a wiring diagram maybe that shows from the fuse panel to the door control?

thanks

Not sure sorry.

Maybe the little lock that pops up right behind the window is jammed? So the pump tries to push it up but can't?
